<VV> bell housing bolt w/ saw mark

[Roger Gault]

Rickie,

I've slotted all of mine.  It makes it considerably easier to get them in
and out.
Coming out, just break them loose with a wrench and spin them out with a
screwdriver.
Going in, just hold them in place with a fingertip and spin them with the
screwdriver to start them.
Final tighting is with a wrench, of course.
